A new thriller by Universal Studios called “The Hunt” has been met with fury in the wake of two politically motivated mass shootings. The horrifying plot features liberal “elites” who go to a resort called The Manor where they are able to hunt down and brutally murder a dozen “deplorables.”

I swore I was going to stay away from politics but…well, let’s just say if you haven’t muttered “WTF” yet today, you will soon.

The plot

But don’t worry. It’s “satire.”

The violent, R-rated film from producer Jason Blum’s Blumhouse follows a dozen MAGA types who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked for sport by elite liberals…

…The Hunt stars Betty Gilpin from GLOW and Hilary Swank, representing opposite sides of the political divide. It features guns blazing along with other ultra-violent killings as the elites pick off their prey. The script from Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter revolves around third-rail political themes. (Original title: Red State Vs. Blue State.) (source)

Ads were pulled last weekend.

The trailers for the movie were so gory and horrifying, particularly in the aftermath of last weekend’s mass shooting tragedies, ESPN pulled the ads.

Over the Aug. 3 weekend, ESPN pulled an ad for the film that it had previously cleared, while AMC ran the spot during the season premiere of its drama The Preacher. It’s unclear whether the ads were identical, but the one yanked by ESPN opened with a sound resembling an emergency broadcast signal. A rep for ESPN parent Disney declined to comment on the move, but an ESPN source says no spots for the film will appear on the network in the coming weeks. (source)

Studio gossip hints that people within Universal are divided about the advertising for this film.

While one high-level Universal source says the studio has pulled some ads that are beginning to air and appear online “for content and placement,” others say the matter is still under discussion internally. A major ad blitz on television and the web had been planned for the beginning of September, says one insider. A trailer is already online.

Given the fraught political climate — particularly in the wake of the attack in El Paso, which was motivated by anti-immigrant bigotry — studio sources say Universal is evaluating its plans in what one called “a fluid situation.” A high-level insider says top executives want to stand by Blum, one of the studio’s most prolific and successful producers, as well as filmmaker Craig Zobel, and see the project as a satire addressing an issue of great social importance. But this person says plans could change “if people think we’re being exploitative rather than opinionated.” (source)

This is sick, regardless of where your political beliefs lie.

Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and “liberal snowflakes” were being hunted by a bunch of red-hat wearing rednecks. The media would go wild and reasonably so.

But when conservatives are in the crosshairs? Crickets.

Even as a person who is apolitical – neither Republican nor Democrat, I’m truly sickened by this, particularly in these divisive times. It’s important to note that I don’t believe most Democrats would find this movie acceptable either. Despite what the media would have us believe, most Americans don’t loathe everyone of a different political party. This will appeal to extremists, however, and extremists are the ones that turn into actual domestic terrorists.

Here’s the trailer.

Chillingly, in the trailer, a woman’s voice is heard saying, “We pay for everything. So this country belongs to us.”

The “satire” is due to be released on September 27, just as the election gets into full swing. Considering that the last election resulted in violence between the political parties, it’s hard to imagine this twisted movie would be without fans willing to do some re-enactments.

“This certainly shows Hollywood for what it really is — demented and evil. At a time when journalists try to blame President Trump for every act of violence in the world, wannabe Tinseltown terrorists are making sick murder fantasies about right-wingers,” Media Research Center vice president Dan Gainor told Fox News. (source)

Even political satirist Tim Young feels like the movie goes too far.

Why would anyone think it’s a great idea to have a movie about hunting down someone who doesn’t agree with them politically? It’s remarkable to me that the left blames Donald Trump’s rhetoric for violence, then literally spends millions to normalize the killing of people based on politics…

…We’re told over and over again by the left, especially in Hollywood, that this country is more divided than ever and we need to come together… is this what they mean by it? Come together to murder your neighbors that you don’t agree with? This film is sick and shows just how hateful the left has become…

…The executives at Universal and those even willing to promote this or run ads for it, should know better than to promote political violence. (source)

That is why that idiot place in Mexifornia is called HOLLYWEIRD……..Nothing but empty headed liberals with their movies about wars, shooting all kinds of guns, and also using knives to kill people with…….Those liberals are sadists and socialists that like to be on the morning and 6:00 News………

That goes to show the mentality of the liberal BASTARDS that have been out in the California sun too long & baked their brains if they even have one. they had better stay in Hollywood where they might be safe. we American hunters just might put them in our crosshairs of our hunting rifles & pull the trigger. there are more of us than there are of the Hollywood elites.

From what I could make out of the movie they chose one who was a bad-ass female they did not research well enough before they chose her, go Trump supporter babe. But to the people involved in the making of this movie, you are some sick ass mother fuckers, but I say bring it on you bunch of pussy ass dickheads. Far from the idea, you have tried to give the public about what we Patriots and Trump followers are made of, we are much tougher than you bunch of Hollywood sissy ass little peckerheads are. We are able to come together and work as one, unlike you brain fucked moron Democrats are even willing to try.

They think we are pussies since we honor the law and not not strike the first blow, there are however, limits to every insane idea of the left. We all know about the planned and organized Coup of Trump joined by the media and press. We as well know the Democratic Party moved so far left they plot our total destruction as a free democratic republic. The forced illegal immigration by the democrats and their refusal to enforce immigration law, means we have no sovereignty and we are no longer a nation, then sweeten the pie by using climate change to force totalitarian Global Socialism to redistribute the wealth globally. I am not a radical, or nut job, Hell I do not even own a weapon, I plan no one harm, but to me if the democratic communist party declares open borders, we have no choice, but to fight to the death to save the nation that has been entrusted to us. We are the only ones standing in the way of the new world order:” by placing America First.” They desperately want to destroy love of country as an evil, pride of our heritage despite our faults, family cultures, gender identity, and religion. Everything they wants means total self destruction, they plan to buy their elections with redistribution of wealth, and punish one race to rewards others while changing demographic not to help preserve the union, but to end loyalty to it by forced illegal immigration which is currently working. They do not want legal immigrants they want near communism and you and I are standing in their way to achieve it. Let us pray this does not happen and Trump wins.

There seems to be a very common and unified theme to all of the posts here. Which is, BRING IT ON YOU LIBERAL PUSSIES!!! I know the left is grossly under estimating the fire power that they’re up against. Us Patriots that love our 2nd Amendment right. Have been quietly stock piling thousands of rounds Of ammo in the most efficient weapons available

Hunting goes 2 ways, Don’t figure we have to worry much about the so called Hollywood Elites much longer though, I’d say next good earthquake in California hopefully will swallow them up or the whole state breaks off in the ocean, personally I don’t think any of those fuck heads have the balls to stand up to the deplorable’s, they just like to talk shit & then go hide back under a rock somewhere, but all I got to say to Hollywood is BRING IT BITCH!!!

The Hollywood types have no idea how many guns and how much ammo are stockpiled by patriotic American conservatives, many of who are US military veterans (who actually do know how to hunt down and KILL the enemy). They also have no idea what thin ice they are treading on. People with guns will defend themselves. We have (almost) all the guns and ammo, and we are not afraid to use them.

Amen Brother!! Bring it the fuck on!!!. I hear the radical left already talking about rioting in 2020 if Trump wins. I would highly recommend against that. If they do, they have grossly under estimated the fire power of the patriotic, 2nd Amendment loving conservatives. We are heavily armed and ready. That’s why this movie is such a fucking joke. It’s just this fantasy film about The left trying to act bad ass. The truth is most of these liberals couldn’t beat their way out of a wet paper bag. Plus, the millennials would have someone else fight for them. Because they’re entitled to it. Well dream on you socialist left pussies. Because we patriots that love our country and everything it stands for I ready for you to do something stupid. Morons

Historians will tell you that the election of Lincoln in 1860 was the real tripwire for war. Yes, the South firing on Ft. Sumter started the actual shooting, but the South knew Lincoln’s stand on slavery, and succession started after he was elected. Ft. Sumter was an annoying Union presence just off the coast of South Carolina that they weren’t going to tolerate. I’m not sure what the final tripwire for war will be now, but I think we’re getting closer. The re-election of Trump in 2020 probably will set off more riots by the Left, and at some point, its going to turn into a real shooting war. The Left is made up of fanatical, violent, even maniacal lunatics with no capacity for discussion. They want things their way, and there is no room for compromise (from global warming to gun control, and from homosexual marriage to illegal aliens getting free healthcare that WE are supposed to pay for). At some point, something has to break.

When the American people allowed a Muslim dictator to be a U.S. President for 8 years it invited in more American haters to invade every key position in the U.S. The cockroaches have dug in so deep now that true Americans will have to dig very deep to eradicate the scum!!

The great pretenders whipping up nut jobs to do their dirty work for them! I will never the rest of my life waste a penny of my money to go to the movie theater, rent a movie, watch HBO or Netflix, etc! These sub-humans are dead to me!!!

I am boycotting anything Hollywood liberals put out. Come on Conservative actors in Hollywood stand up to your liberal associates. Stop hiding in the Shadows stand beside your conservative brothers and start your own movie companies and blackball the liberals who have been blackballing you for daring to go against the Democrat communist agenda. HOLLYWOOD will never receive another penny of my hard earned money

Need not ask where the crazies come from!!! This has crossed so many lines, that I find myself speechless!!! When you encourage violence and you turn a blind eye to encouraging it, there’s nothing left to say!
God help America, because we’re going to need it!!! When you accept this, and try to disarm people from this, then there’s a problem!!!

Most of today’s youth don’t even know what SATIRE means……If this isn’t ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE I don’t know what is……..This shows HOLLYWOOD’S lack of respect for the principals LIFE, LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS……This is AMERICA the land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE….AMERICAN “WAKE UP” and see what the SOCIALIST PARTY is doing to the above principals with their constant harassment of TRUMP and his supporters…..This sounds more like the HITLER days……

this movie is sick, and those involved in it should be so ashamed and prosecuted for the inciting of violence and hate! What is wrong with people, these democrats keep attacking republicans and saying President Trump and his supporters are dividing this country, really? We have done nothing like this movie, which crosses the line on so many levels. I am appalled this is even allowed to be seen. We need to have this movie banned and charge the people involved in it with inciting violence and hate! Come on America (those of us who truly love our country) let’s ban together and not go support this movie, it’s makers, writers, or actors and take it even farther, we need to stop laying down and taking this, it’s time to stand up…legally of course and fight!

AGREE! Class Action Lawsuits against Universal, actors in the movie, financial backers, producers, etc for allowing this type of crap to be filmed much less aired on TV or movie theaters which could result in the lose of American lives!

From the trailer here. To me it appears that this so called “satirical” movie put forth by those in Hollywood is trying to get some sort of a reaction from Conservatives and those who understand the Constitution, but that won’t happen as we can see and understand what they are trying to do.
Will this film make some money ? Yes, but far less then they hope.

Let me ask you, America, a question. What happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? In the present day world Hollywood is our version of that corruption city. How much are “WE THE PEOPLE”, going to put up with? Wild monstrous, violent video games teaching our kids to KILL, MAME, BLOW UP things and people. This teaches our children that “life’ is valuable, they are raised playing these horrible games that leaves no respect for human life. The game allow them to KILL someone and have that person rise and be alive again. We, as parents, need to put a stop to the production of these games. Why are YOU ALLOWING YOUR CHILD TO BE BRAINWASHED, CORRUPTED BEYOND HELP? Stop contributing to the sickness.

Socialism i.e. communism KILLS no one can defend that. Only EVIL tries.

So ya! Let’s deport all democrats to Hawaii so they can have their own country and build their socialist utopia. And then sink their boats and shoot down their planes when they realize their mistake and try to come back!

Hawaii is the most isolated population center on the face of the earth. Hawaii is 2,390 miles from California; 3,850 miles from Japan; 4,900 miles from China; and 5,280 miles from the Philippines.

Americans should expel leftist liberals from the U.S.A.! It would be AWESOME if all you socialists/liberals were forced to live in a socialist dictatorship country like North Korea? I just watched a video of how they “North Koreans” are diving south and dodging bullets for a chance to leave that socialist paradise! I wonder why?

When was the last time you have seen people from the U.S.A. trying to escape free market capitalism on makeshift rafts made of milk cartons and paddle 103 miles to communist/socialist Cuba?

Poor Liberals if only Socialism/Communism didn’t suck! YES LIBERALS PLEASE MOVE! I hear Scandinavia, North Korea and Cuba are nice!

I hear Venezuela is nice they are eating their cats and dogs, rioting in the streets for lack of food and toilet paper. It’s a liberal paradise you will LOVE it there! 1 American dollar to Venezuelan currency equals 119,900.00 Venezuelan Bolivar.

Look at how good socialism is working for the Soviet Union! Oh wait….

Look at how good socialism is working out for the Germans and the Nazis…

This is true leftist fantasy. Ask yourself, who answers the call to duty, when our nation is threatened? Who is specifically trained as part of that service to do anything with almost nothing, and be pure lethality without a blink of the eye with knives or firearms? Who can go days without sleep or food (other than snakes and bugs) while evading an enemy meanwhile looking for an opportunity to strike and destroy? Who has never asked for a “safe space” when verbally opposed? Do you really want to take on this bunch that have a will of iron covered with a thin veneer of civility?

Won’t be much of a civil war. Anti-gun libtarded idiots vs pro gun Patriots, that’s NOT a “war” that’s a “slaughter!” Suffice it to say, they would lose even more badly than they did in the first Civil war!

I don’t even need to prepare. My side will be loading ammo while their side tries to figure out which bathroom to use!﻿

Instead of killing them all off in another Civil War……We should just give the Hawaiian Islands to the democrats. And then force them all to move there and let them declare it The United Socialist State of America and be done with it.

And NEVER let them set foot in the lower 48 free states! Liberals are already un-American foreigners/socialists!

I think liberals might have their pink pussy hat on way too tight…… it is cutting off blood flow to their 3 remaining brain cells!

The biggest threat to the U.S.A. is NOT Russia, NOT North Korea, NOT Islamic Terrorism, NOT Global warming, NOT The national debt, NOT Guns. It is “Leftist Liberal DemocRats.”

liberals have no common ground with loyal Americans. We are a separate cultures and separate nations occupying the same land. They/you are dedicated to the destruction of the Republic and we are dedicated to its preservation. And the divide between us is growing bigger every day. We are on a path to a very destructive and very bloody war, if something doesn’t change.

How to define a Liberal\progressive….. Think of a conservative then take away ALL ability to use reason logic and common sense. And then add malignant narcissism to what you took away.

The essential difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals could NOT exist without conservatives to defend their freedom and to support them economically. The parasite cannot live without a host!

Conservatives, on the other hand could exist and live quite well without liberals!

You don’t like President Trump? Solution….Google a President you do like and move the fvck to that country! We won’t miss you!

We need to divide the U.S.A. and ship all democRats to Hawaii. You can call it the United Socialist States of Hawaii each Island can be it’s own independent state. Think about it it is a win win! Conservatives HATE liberals and liberals HATE Conservatives and having Trump as President!

You could ban all guns murder your children up to 25 years old instead of only 9 months. You could also make it legal to marry whatever LGBTQ thing you want, your dog, cat brother, sister, mom, dad, uncle etc.etc.

You could burn all Bibles and kick God out of your own little country and bring in all the Muslim terrorists you want without ANY background checks. You could make Os-hitforbrains King forever and Hillary Queen or vice versa.

Awesome the lefts new America where everything is free, everything is taken care of for you, everything is perfect. Then you wake up from that dream to the reality of it’s nightmare!

Hey liberals…. Just move to Cuba and you will NOT have the GOP to deal with!

Conservatives never threatened to move the way liberals did! And why would we have left Obamas socialist USA for Socialist Canada? That would have been counter productive!﻿

We know at this point we’re no longer able to coexist with the liberal dem bloodsuckers, they can shut their mouth leave us alone, or they won’t like the price!

What is stopping these IDIOT leftist socialist liberals from moving to the commie country of their choice? Get the frack out NOW! M.A.G.A.!﻿

This is why people under 30 should NOT vote, unless they are serving in the U.S. Military or are smart enough to be conservative.

Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing children. For five months, The New York Times tracked 21 public hospitals in Venezuela. Doctors are seeing record numbers of children with severe malnutrition. 11,446 children under the age of 1 had died in 2016 a 30 percent increase in one year as the economic crisis accelerated.

All these disgusting democRat “American citizens” are free to leave. There is no Berlin Wall with armed guards keeping them here. GO!

There is a statue of Vladimir Lenin in Seattle but the left took down a statue of Robert E. Lee, (a Christian general) in New Orleans. Now, what’s that all about?

Equality in this great country is providing the means to give everyone an equal chance, not about giving everyone an equal result. As Ayaan Hirsi Ali said, “Political correctness is a weapon used to silence people who tell the truth.”

Liberals deifyed Castro, who amassed a fortune, while his subjects earned an average of $20 a month. It’s truly amazing that in this country our flag and culture offend so many people but our benefits don’t.

In Venezuela, protesters are in the streets resisting socialism while in America, liberals are in the streets demanding socialism. Ronald Reagan said, “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.”

Richard-So what! Maybe, just maybe we will have to get rid of the press! We know they are not the free press! Maybe just maybe we have to teach them a lesson! Tell the truth! We have been saying that when Trump was running!

This is Hollywood “wishful thinking” AND propaganda at the same time. There is a reason it was created, and disseminated ahead of the 2020 election.
The influence of the left in Hollywood has been a ‘long game’ from the very start. Little-by-little they weave their perversions into American society by way of the big (and small) screens.
Libertards know their sheep have poor critical thinking skills, and are too lazy to do their own homework. They’re hoping there will be more ‘mass destruction’ before the 2020 election cycle — to throw off conservatives from the voting booths. But, as the demonrats typically do, they underestimate their rivals.
I think the 2020 election has already been won . . . I foresee many, many more conservatives in seats everywhere.

Congratulations Hollywood! I did not think you could sink lower that what you have been putting out and cramming down our throats (those that watch what you produce) but you have surpassed by extremely low expectations! Is it appropriate to say thank you or just get the friggen hell out of my life?

Hollyweird low lifes elevated themselves to what they considered to be part of “The Swamp” when a chosen few where honored with a metal (for doing what great thing for humanity?) by dictator Obama!!! What a bunch of crazed animals! 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Seems as if trump and the left both are pushing gun control. The red flag law will hurt veterans worse than anyone, but hey we are used to being stabbed in the back . The VA cant wait to turn vet records over to gun grabbers. But not o e of these killers were vietnam vets. And BTW all gun owners are next.

Sounds like fun! I’ll volunteer to be one of the hunted conservatives. I will bring my own gun sand bag a few of those wacko liberal’s in the process! All they know to how to do is protest and whine and tell people what they want. Get a few of them in the woods and hunt – they are to soft to be much of a challenge!

The Globalists feel that it is lawful to make any movie you wish. First Amendment. They also feel it is lawful to publish the names and addresses of people who supported Trump. First Amendment. Therefore, the names and addresses of everyone who WATCHES this piece of art movie should be published.

So now that Killary has gotten away with her claim that the murders in Benghazi was because of a movie; she can now get by with having Trump supporters hunted down like animals. This movie, everyone connected with it and every person who pays to see it should be charged with aiding and abetting a crime against President Trump and Conservatives, perhaps even murder. The Liberals have gone too far,there must be a stop to this madness. Do they not understand that there are nuts roaming our streets that could take the very idea of this and just start killing at random? Do they have any common decency or respect for other Americans? You can disagree even strongly dislike a person or people but to all but call for wholesale butchery? Come on someone had better jump on this and stop the insanity.
